Nina Caprez Frees the Ratikon

Nina Caprez started climbing
at age 13. While growing up, on her bedroom wall, she had a poster of
Pietro dal Pra copping the famous and playful no-hands rest on Silbergeier. It was always a route she wanted to do. Pietro dal Pra told her, "Nina, when you turn 25, you will climb Silbergeier."
Just before she turned 25, Caprez remembered dal Pra's prophecy and
headed into the Ratikon with her boyfriend, Cedric Lachat, to work the
route. In the summer of 2011, Caprez redpointed Silbergeier for its first female asecent.
